Justin Rose forced to withdraw from WGC-Bridgestone Invitational

Justin Rose has climbed from 15th in the world rankings in 2017 to second. He is coming off of a spectacular 64-69 weekend at the Open Championship where he finished T2 behind winner Francesco Molinari after barely making the cut.

Rose, who has suffered from back spasms in the past, confirmed this was the reason he has withdrawn this week.
